Description steve faulkner 2014-08-21 08:58:29 UTC 
The definition of blockquote has changed significantly from html4

html4:
 BLOCKQUOTE is for long quotations (block-level content)
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#edef-BLOCKQUOTE

HTML5

"The blockquote element represents content that is quoted from another source, optionally with a citation which must be within a footer or cite element, and optionally with in-line changes such as annotations and abbreviations."
